It won't be Esther

Esther McVey bid to become leader of the Conservative Party has failed. She failed to gain the backing of more than 17 of her fellow Tory MPs to go the next round of voting. In fact she came last with just 9 backers. McVey has been headlines for unwanted reason when a feud with Breakfast TV show host Lorraine Kelly came to light. McVey blamed this on a trio of left leaning colleagues including current Labour MP Gloria Del Peiro. The next round of voting will whittle down to 2 candidates  to decide who becomes leader.
